The Romance of the West Chamber: The Bells are Ringing

Chapter 42 What’s the point of parting?

When Yingying heard what Zhang Sheng said, her heart moved again, and she thought: "This scholar is quite good! You see, he is willing to work more."

Zhang Sheng stood not far from Yingying, smiling. He looked confident yet slightly shy, but there were thousands of words in his heart that were difficult to express. Zhang Sheng just wanted to think: "I have to express my emotions, but I can't show them easily. I'm a little afraid of being rejected." Zhang Sheng is conflicted in his heart. He hopes to appear fearless, but in fact he is a little reserved. .

Yingying stood opposite Zhang Sheng, admiring Zhang Sheng with her eyes, thinking in her heart: "This scholar's demeanor and talent really make me feel good about him." However, she was also secretly worried, thinking worriedly: "Can my feelings be responded to by this scholar? If I show my affection, it would be bad if this scholar misunderstands me." She was also entangled in her heart, and her passionate heart was troubled by indifference.

On the other side, the piano boy and the matchmaker were also communicating with their eyes. The two of them were smiling and looking at each other, secretly feeling the tacit understanding between them.

The matchmaker admired the matchmaker's loyalty and diligence, and thought: "I wonder how my brother's injury is, hey, this is all for me!" The matchmaker, on the other hand, was grateful for the matchmaker's care and warmth, and thought to herself: " My sister still cares about me so much. I am lonely and I am satisfied that my sister is thinking about me." They understood each other's feelings tacitly, but they did not dare to say it clearly.

The Dharma texts in the Buddhist hall and the monks meditated and practiced. They worked hard all night and concentrated on performing the rituals solemnly and piously. The moon has set in the west, but the bells are still ringing, signaling the passage of time. The rooster crows and dawn is approaching.

"Dong-dong-dong-" the morning bell of Pujiu Temple rang again in the silence of the early morning. The bells are melodious and solemn, echoing throughout the Buddhist temple, bringing a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

Zhang Sheng, Yingying, Qintong and Matchmaker were all quietly listening to the bells in the Buddhist hall. They have different expressions and have thoughts in their hearts.

Zhang Sheng frowned slightly, thinking in his mind: "How should I pursue Miss Yingying's heart? If I want to get Miss Yingying, I must show my sincerity and talent. To be with Miss Yingying, I must overcome all kinds of problems. Such difficulties and obstacles make it possible!

Miss Yingying's eyes were shy, and she had some guesses about Zhang Sheng's thoughts, but she did not dare to jump to conclusions. She was secretly looking forward to it: "It would be the best if we could have more contact and communication with Zhang Sheng and get to know each other better."

Qintong looked at the matchmaker, filled with emotion, and thought: "I have a special affection for the matchmaker, but I also understand that it is not easy to win the matchmaker's heart. I have to work harder to prove my sincerity and strength. .”

The matchmaker gently flicked her sleeves, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She understood Qintong's intentions, but she also thought in her heart: "Zongdan's brother and I must stay together and face various tests. I am willing to work hard with him and face the challenges of the future together. But, brother Although it’s good, it’s still a slave’s humble status. I’ve been a slave for a long time, and I just want to get rid of my status as a slave. Hey, what should I do?”

In the sound of the morning bell, the four people all have their own expectations and hesitations in their hearts, and are full of uncertainties and challenges for the future. They know that in order to pursue true love, they must bravely face all difficulties, no matter how big or small, and they must dare to take this step decisively.

The atmosphere in the Buddhist hall is quiet and peaceful, and the bells echo endlessly, as if to remind everyone to strengthen their beliefs, welcome a new day, and welcome a bright future. The four of them stared at each other silently, their expectations and determination growing stronger. In this silent morning, they were determined to move forward bravely and pursue their own happiness.

Fa Cong coughed slightly, breaking the silence in the Buddhist hall. He looked at the Dharma book, smiled and said: "The ritual is over, Master, do you think it's time for everyone to go back?"

Farben nodded, with a kind smile on his face: "Yes, the ritual has been successfully completed, everyone can go back individually."

Mrs. Cui Xiangguo heard the conversation between Fa Cong and Fa Ben and said, "Yes, it's time for us to go back to the west wing." She gently took her youngest son Huanlang's hand and signaled to Yingying. Yingying nodded towards her mother.

Zhang Sheng looked at Miss Yingying and Xiao Huanlang, and felt a warmth in his heart. He smiled and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it. He knew in his heart that although the religious ceremony was over, his mind was still stuck in the Buddhist temple, and he seemed to have a care that was difficult to let go.

Everyone looked at each other and saw the complicated emotions in each other's eyes. They experienced a night of spiritual baptism and gained enlightenment and enlightenment in the Buddhist temple, but at this moment they had to face the reality of separation.

The matchmaker looked at everyone, smiled and said to Farben: "Master, although we have to go back separately, we all have this beautiful moment left in our hearts. I hope we can all cherish this sentiment and turn it into an inner light."

After hearing what the matchmaker said, everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that although this ceremony was short, it was a rare experience and a baptism for the soul.

Faben looked at everyone, his eyes full of love and blessings: "You are all good. I hope you can uphold kindness and compassion in your future life and live a true and beautiful self."

Everyone saluted Fa Ben to express their gratitude and respect. They were full of admiration and reverence for this wise monk, and were grateful to him for guiding them.

In the Buddhist hall, everyone respected each other and then left. The morning bell has rung, and the sun gradually rises, casting a golden glow.

Mrs. Cui Xiangguo took Xiao Huanlang's hand, looked at Yingying and the matchmaker with a smile, and said, "Yingying, matchmaker, let's go back to the west wing."

Yingying nodded, and she gently held up Mrs. Cui Xiangguo's hand, with complex emotions surging in her heart. He glanced back at Zhang Sheng, his eyes full of tenderness and hesitation, then turned back, supported Mrs. Cui Xiangguo, walked out of the Buddhist hall, and headed towards the west chamber.

The matchmaker stepped back and walked out of the Buddhist hall. She turned around and cast her gentle gaze on the piano boy. Then she gave Zhang Sheng a sharp look and said, "You scholar, you should be nicer to your servants." !”

Zhang Shengyu stood in the Buddhist hall, watching Yingying's back gradually go away. He didn't see the matchmaker at all, and he didn't hear what she said. He unconsciously moved his feet, trying to catch up.

The matchmaker let out a "hum" and rolled down her sleeves. When she saw the piano boy staring at her with a grin on her face, her face turned red. She snickered and turned around to catch up with Yingying and the others.

Qin Tong quickly grabbed Zhang Sheng and said softly: "Mr. Lang, don't be stupid. You spent the night with your female Bodhisattva last night, so you should be content."

"Hey, you dog, no, Zong Dan, how can I be contented!" Zhang Sheng sighed softly and said, "In my heart, I can't stop admiring the beauty of the little lady Yingying. Beauty, how can I win her favor?"

Suddenly a fierce look appeared on his face: "I know in my heart that if I want to get Yingying, I have to cut the grass and root out the people who hinder us from being together. No matter who the other party is, they must be eliminated in order to be successful."
